The House Accepts All the Senate Amendments, FOUR POPGUN BILLS ALSO PASSED Giving Free Sugar, Iron Ore, Coal and Barbed Wire. SOME SPEECHES MADE Before the close of the session yesterday the House completed the program prepared in the democratic caucus. The Senate amendments to the Wilson tariff bill have been concurred in by the House, and four separate bills, placing coal, iron ore, sugar and barbed wire, respectively, on the free list, were passed by the House, without reference to the committee or previous con- sideration, The general tariff bill, with all its Imperfections, goes at once to the Pres- ident for his action, The four popgun bills are ready for action by the Senate finance committee. After The Star's report closed the pro- gram was carried out exactly as indicated in the events of an earlier hour in the day. The special order reported from the com- mittee on rules was adopted by a vote of 176 to 97. The motion to accept the Senate amend- ments to the Wilson bill followed at once. This was discussed two hours, and then carried by a vote of 181 yeas to 105 nays. This motion was made by Chatrman Wil- son of the ways and means committee. Mr. Reed made the point of order that the bill was not before the House, but Speaker Crisp pointed to the bill lying on the table, and stated that it was before the House. Mr. Wilson's Speech, Mr. Wilson then took the floor and spoke for about ten minutes. “Mr. Speaker,” he said, “I have made the motion which I have sent to the clerk's desk not on my own responsibility or from my own volition, but as the official organ of the caucus of my fates on this side of the House and by their directions. I shall say very little myself on this occa- sion in advocacy of the motion, and I shall be sincere and frank in what I shall sub- mit to this House, “I do not pretend that I am gratified at the outcome of this prolonged controversy. I do not pretend that up to the very last moment I had not cherished the hope and the faith that we should reach another and @ better and more satigfactory conclusion of this conflict between the two houses of the American Congress. I had hoped and believed until there seemed ground scarcely for hope or bellef that in such a contest this House, backed by the American people and enthusiastically sustained by the dem- ocratic party, would be able to achieve some honorable compromise between the two houses which we could have accepted, not from a sense of duty, but with a sense of satisfaction and feeling that we had re- sponded to the mandates of the American people. The Lesson Learn “But, Mr, Speaker, we have simply real- ized in this great fight the fact so well stated by the great leader of the tariff re- form fight in Great Britain—that when the people have gained a victory at the polls ttey must have a further stand-up and knock-down fight with thelr own repre- sentatives. And we have realized, if noth- ing else, the salutary lesson of the intrench- ment of the protective system in this coun- try under thirty years of class legislation, until the mere matter of tariff schedules 1s a matter of fasignificance, and the great question presents itself—is this to be a gov- ernment by a self-taxing people or a gov- ernment of taxation by trusts and monopo- lists? (Applause on the democratic side.) “If we have taken out of this fight no other lesson than that, it has been to us a great, an inspiring and valuable lesson. If we have not been able to get all the man- dates of the people told us to get, we have brought this dangerous fact face to face with American freemen, and we have made some breach in the protective through which the hosts of American free- men will continue to march, (Applause on the democratic side.) “I shall not say to the people of this country, I shall not say to my colleagues here (from whom even at the expense 0; what may seem ijl taste on this occasion cannot withhold the expression of my un- speakable gratitude for their personal friendship and their loyal and enthusiastic support), I shall not say to them that white is black, or that false is true, or that pro- tection $s a just and honest system of tax- ation. (Applause on the democratic side.) Nothing which is not done right ever lasts. No work that is not thorough ever remains undisturbed. You can settle no question like the great question of taxation permanently and safely except upon the eternal basis of right and liberty, (Applause.) Better Than the McKinley Bill. “I shall not attempt, eas I said in the out- set, to explain che merits or to dwell upon the demerits of the six hundred odd amend- ments to this bill which this House ts about of necessity to concur tn. Perhaps I could not do justice as yet to the merits of the amendments. My attention has necessarily been so ccnstantly and so steadily directed to their demerits that it would require some experience to learn what the merits are, (Laughter and ap- plause.) But whatever the measure of shortcomings of this bill in its present form—whatever be its demerits in mere echedules—this I do know, that it js better than the McKinley bill- (Loud applause on the democratic side.) This I do know, that in a part of it it does afford some relief to the taxpayers of this country and does clip the wings of the gigantic monopolies that are now oppressing them and blocking legislation, (Applause on the democratic side; derisive cries on the republican side.) “A Question as to Revenu “I should like to ask the gentleman,” in- terrupted Mr. Hudson (Kan.), “whether he has investigated fully so as to be able to State definitely that this bill as amended by the Senate will furnish suffictent revenue to meet the entire expenses of the govern- ment.” ‘That is a question,” replied Mr, Wilson, hich ne man, perhaps—certainly not 1— can answer in definite language. But I have no difficulty whatever in saying that when the schedules of the bill with thé Senate amendments get into normal operation, it will produce sufficient, and more than suffi- cient,revenue for the support of the govern- m ent. “J should add to the answer that perhaps in the beginning the bill will not produce as much revenue as will result from it later on under its ordinary working, be- cause, I am informed, whether it be true or not I do not know, that the sugar trust, in antictpation of the passage of the bill, have imported abaut a hundred millions’ worth, or, it has been said, even in excess of that quantity, of raw sugar. “Will the passage of the bill, in your judgment, save he country from the fur- ther issue of bonds?” continued Mr, Hud- son. “I think I have already covered that question in my previous answer, It may in the first few months of the operation of the bill, because of this great accumula- | tion of raw sugar, to which I have just re- | ferred, that the revenues of the govern- tient will not be sufficient to meet the ex- penditures of the government. But it ts my belief, in view of the large amount of imported goods in bond, and also in view of the fact that there will be larger importa- tions when the tariff rates are definitely known and fixed, that if the necessity does not exist today it will not exist aftér the passage of the bill. Mr. Dingley*s Interrogatory. “Will the gentleman pardon me just on that point?” asked Mr. Dingley (Me.) “I vnderstand him to say that the sugar trust has already imported a hundred millions’ vorth of sugar. If so, inasmuch as only $109,000,000 worth of sugar was tmported last year, will not all of the revenue that we get from sugar under the operagon of this bill for the first year be missing?” “I did not intend td give the figurés that one hundred millions of raw sugar had been imported,” replied Mr, Wilson, “I stated that I had been informed that thé sugar trust had imported about that amount, and I haye, eyen beard it stated } amount. It y gentlemen Heard (Mo.), x ima’ pe, at mus to the W ai thé el e of this law, would not the st reay i larger bonus under the operation, af the Mc’ law if that were still left in force?” “They would hot do so immediately, but under the operation of that law from year to year they would certainly reap a larger sum, “Mr. Speaker, in answer~to all of these questions, I have simply to say that under the rule just adopted by the House im- mediately following the passage of this bill, we propose to present and pass a bill put- ting sugar on the free list. (Applause on the democratic: side.) The question is now made whether this is a government by the American people for the American people or @ government of the sugar trust for the benefit of the sugar trust. And this House will show the people, I doubt not, what its position is on that question, and the Sen- ate will show the people its position.” Mr. Reed’s Sarcasm. Mr. Reed followed Mr, Wilson. His speech was characteristic, in sarcastic tones. “I am somewhat reluctant,” he said, “to address the House, because my feelings are divided between two emotions, One is an emotion of regret for the democratic party ae of 1) to: ot inley and for its position, and the other fs a feel- ing of equal regret for the country and its position, too. So far as the gentleman from West Virginia is concerned, and his com- patriots, there is not the slightest necessity of my commenting on the difference be- tween this scene of sorrow and the tri- umphal procession which carried him out of this House. (Laughter and applause on the republican side.) He is not s0 joyous now, having been car- ried out in another, branch, and more ef- fectually. (Renewed laughter.) It 1s un- fortunate for the gentleman from West Virginla that he and his compatriots had to contend with gentlemen of eo much more capacity and skill. Undoubtedly the House conferees theant well. Undoubtedly their intentions were honorable, but they were no match for the gentiemen whom they met in the other branch. They were not as skillful as these men are. Why, our conferees come back to us, gentlemen of the House, without so much as the name of the bill that they transported across this building a month ago. It will be known in history as the Gorman-Brice, vice the Wil- son bill, dead. (Laughter and applause on the republican side.) And not dead on the field of honor, either. (Renewed laughter and applavae) ~~. cou. The gentleman from West Virginia and his compatriots appear before us now, not as the triumphal reformers, marching to glory at the sound of their own sweet voices. They are little babes in the wood, and it will be found pretty soon that they were left there by their uncle in the White House. (Great laughter and applause on the republican side.) And I can hear the or of the little birds bearing the bal- lota that are to bury them out of sight, (Laughter on the republican #ide.) But thelr fate ie of @mall consequence. Their disappearance is the least of this event. J told this House, speaking of the tariff question, that One of the great misfortunes of this attempted action would be the fact that whatever basis was reached, It would not be @ permanent basis on which this country could do business, that it was only an effort on their part to do something, an effort which they were going to continue, and the gentleman from West Virginia (Mir. Wilson) signalizes his departure from history by talking about this being a step in the onward march. So, not even content with this Senate bill, not even content with what attacks it makes upoj our in- dustries, these men at the moment when they seal their personal discredit by sub- mitting to the bill announced to us that it is only the herald of future attacks upon the business industries of this country, The Suffering Country. Great God, has not this country. suffered enough during the last twelve months, that these men should come and assure {ft their ravages are to continue? I tell you, when the people of this country get an opportun- ity to express their opinion of you, you will listen to It more intently and with sadder hearts than you have tcday, even. Not con- tent with what you have done, you have threatened the people of this country with yourselves —: (Laughter on the repub- lican side.) We shall not write your epi- taph. That has been done by a nearer and dearer. That has been done by the man whose name must be affixed to this bill be- fere it can digeredit the statute book. ie name must be-to it. He tells you that this bill is an instance of perfidy, injustice and dis- honor. We have got rcthing to @o in the next campaign except to read the testimony of your chief magistrate, under whose pro- tecting wing the committee on ways and means of the House of Representatives have lived, so that we did not know at any mo- ment whether they were a committee of the House of Representatives or a committee of the executive. (Applause on republican side.) Out of your own household has your con- demnation come. For we shall read that bold and uncompromising declaration of the chairman of the committee on ways and means that we were to sit here until the end of our term to put down the sugar trust. What do we have instead? Why, we have a proposition to fire one of those pop- un tariff bills for which the gentleman rom Ilinois (Mr. Springér) was deposed from the committee on ways and means. (Laughter on the Sy epee side.) His suc- cessor, after filling the atmosphere with his outspread wings, finds his nest in some other bird’s premises. (Laughter and ap- plause on republican side.) Why not re- sign if you were to adopt the action of the other person? I congratulate the gentle- man from Iiinois (Mr. Springer). upon his personal strength, I wish I could congrat- ulate the country upon something, and I will upon the speedy departure of incom- petency, (Applause on republican side.) Mr. MeMfIlin’s Reply. Mr. McMillin (Tenn.), member of the ways and means committee, replied to Mr. Reed. He began by recalling, in connection with Mr. Reed's prophecy of political disaster to the democrats of the House, the over- throw of the republican House after the passage of the McKinley bill in 1890. After criticising Mr. Reed for not discussing the question at issue, he proceeded to point out some of the gcod features of the Senate biil—free wool, free lumber, free hemp, etc. and the reductions tn the general schedules. The duties in the chemical schedule of the Senate bill about to be adopted, he sald, were reduced from 30 per cent to 24 per cent; earth and earthenware, from 51 per ecnt to 85 pet cent; metals and metal manu- factures, from 58 to 36 per cent; wood and Wood manufactures, from 31 to 23; tobacco, 117 to 105; cotton, 55 to 43; flax, hemp and | jute, 45 to 41; wool and woolens, 9S to 4S) silk and silk manufactures, [3 to 46; pulp and paper, 28 to 20; sundries, from 26 to 24; total reduction from 58 per cent to 38 per cent. Mr. McMillin eulogized other feat- ures, including extensions of the free list, | and especially the principle involved in the | it.come tax provision, Which taxed not what people consumed, but what they had. Not Compromise, but Unconditional Surrender, Mr. Burrows of Michigan followed Mr. | MeMillin. He began by saying that the | chairman of the ways and means commit- tee had been deserted by his party associ- ates. In a semi-humorous monner he quoted from Mr. Wilson’s speech when the bill | passed the House ils sentence that not all | who paraded as tariff reformers were in line when the muskeiry began to rattle. “That | was when he was lashing you cowardly | laggards into line,” said Mr. Burrows, tura- ing to the democratic side. “Now thé chair- man of the Committee leads the retreat, and asks you to adopt the bill which gives pub- lic devotion to the most monstrous trust in | this country.” Sarcastically he referred to the program for the passage of the “pop- gun” bills, which, he seid, it was never sup- posed would get through the Senate. Fri- day last, Mr. Burrows declared, a re-/ markable day in the history of the bill. The House was firm that morning. But that the Senate | afternoon, when Mr. Vest i threatened to turn 6n the calclum Nght and expose the secrets of the conference, come what ¥, i, the democrats of the House | had fallen to their knees. (Democratic Jeers). The democratic executive, thereto- fore firm, was gulet_and yielding when he heard that threat. So the caucus met and all was abandoned. It was not compromise; it was unconditional surrender. In view of what the President has said of the bill, in view of the rumors that would cling to It forever, Mr. Burrows de- clsred that the President would belle his character if he did not return jt with all his scorn and contempt and the interroga- | toty: “Is thy servant a dog that he would | do this thing?” (Republican applause). What the Populists Think, Mr. Wilson then ylejded a few minutes to Mr. Pence of Colorado, the leader of the | populists, who said that the populists had thovght and thought still that the con- test over the tariff between the two old partles Was a good deal of a mock confilct , and @ sham battle. -e. > He was convi 6 a8 true when he saw the seek Guy at Mr. Burrows.

Mr. Cockran, to whom Mr. Reed yielded twenty-five minutes, was the next speaker, He declared most emphatically that the Senate bill represented a departure trom principle, and was almost bitter in his laraticn that a true tariff reform bill, as as the Wilson bill was as it the House, ought to pass or none at all. “Why are the secret eremtes, these shadows id threaten the bill in the Senate?” he add Then he declared that he for one would never yield to an enemy that had not ret been discovered. He portrayed the conferees as climbing up a hill and declare ing they had fought a battle there with an invisible enemy, end then saying that they lees dare return and fight that battle in. It was very evident in the course of Mn Cockran’s remarks that he had not the members behind him. He ap- pealed to Mr. Crisp in his remarks to #: port some cf his statements, but tl = er said nothing. * he Seal After brief speeches by Mesers. Tarsney and e rgron of Ohio, Speaker Crisp, in an- swer to cries of “Crisp, Crisp,” from republican side, arose. “ = Speaker Crisp’s Remarks. “I only desire,” he said, “in the few min- utes allowed me to publicly assume my full share of responsibility for the action this side of the House ts now arked to take, and to aver in the face of my colleagues and reed country that we gre doing what, in judgment of those who have been ac engaged in this struggle, those who ‘ts 4 taken earnest part in the fight, is for the best interest of tariff reform. (Applause oh the democratic side.) It is very easy for distinguished gentleman like trom New York, who, as we all all his ability and amiability, Uttle of his time in attending to the d of the business of the House (daughter afi applause), it is very easy for him to come here and indulge in pyrotechnics about principle, when we, who are here as plaifi, practical business men, are seeking to ob- tain some relief for a suffering people. “But I want the gentleman t6 under ie I want the country to understand, thet @ deserters from the cause of tariff rée- form are not these tonferees and others who have been — this great struggle and who now advise that this bill be ac- cepted, but the deserters are among those gentlemen who, in the midst of the fight, because they do not approve all the Pro~ visions of the bill, hold back and say: “We will have no lot or part in this struggle further.’ (Applause on democratic side.) Half a Loaf Better Than No Bread. “We are not discussing a theory. We be- lieve in the homely phrase that when peoe ple ere starving, ‘half a loaf ts better than no bread.’ Therefore we say we will take the Senate bill; but before this House ade journs tonight, if our friends will stay with us—” Many members on the democratic side shouted “We will do it.” Mr, Crisp continuing—“We will sen@ to the Senate, crystallized into form of acts passed jn this hall, bilis making sugar freq (oud applause), making coal (renewed applause), making iron ore free (continued applause), and making barbed wire free, (Renewed applause). If my friend on that side is so much concerned about these ar- lcles, let him stay here and vote with us. (Laughter and applause), “If there is a sugar trust in this country which ts dominating legislation the repub- lican party created it (applaus though this bill does not destroy that trust as we wished it did, it takes away more than one-half of the protection accorded to that trust. (Applause.) If there is @ ‘coal combine’ the legislation of th publican party built it up, and ali we do not make coal free in this t : reduce the duty from 75 to 40 cents. Ig there is a steel and iron combine the sam@ remark applies. Going through these sched- ules, while they are not all we wish, they are—and we want the country to unders stand it—the best we can now get. The moment we t this we intend to move forward; we do not intend there shall be any backward step in tariff reform. (Loud applause.) We believe that the adjourn- ment of this Congress without the poseags of some tariff bill would be a blow to 4 reform, from Which it would not recoves for years to come.” (Long Continued ap- plause on the democratic side.) Mr. Cockran’s Question of Privilege, When the Speaker sat down Mr. Cockran arose. The House was in an uproar, “Vote, vote,” was the cry In answer to his address to the chair, Finally, after prolonged clamor on the democratic side, Mr. Cocke ran shouted, “I rise to a question of per- soral privilege.” “The chatr will hear the gentleman,” was the reply of Mr, Tracey, who was presiding. The House, however, was unwilling to hear Mr. Cockran, and again a perfect as raised, hisses being feature, enough quiet prevailed for My. n to declare, with a personal bitter- ness that is not often séen on the floor, that the Speaker knew well enough the side causes of beence (sickness in na Cockran’s family), and his réference to al a sample of the growth of Geof sla chivalry since Alexander Stevens was replaced in the Speakership by the present occupant of the chair. “My action now,” said Mr. Cockran, “is not due to my absence in any way, and the enuleman from Georgia knowe it.” Cheérs rom the republicans followed this remark, and Speaker Crisp immediately rose to dis- claim any personal allusion in the matter, stating that he did not mean to say any- thing more then that Mr. Cockran's al sencé prevented him from being informs on the real situation, the necessity accepting a compromis The Vote, .
